More and more popular
musical artists today use odd time signatures to give their music a
unique sound. This practice goes back to the 1960s, with Dave Brubeck
and The Beatles, and continued with artists like King Crimson, Rush,
Sting, Metallica, Tool, and Radiohead. To many musicians, these meters
are complex and mysterious. However, nothing could be farther from the
truth. Odd time signatures should be easy to understand, as they are
simply meters with an odd number of beats to the bar. The Drummer’s
Guide to Odd Time Signatures will help you understand how to hear
and feel these meters and to use them in a variety of musical situations
and genres. Take your drumming to the next level, and master the art of
playing in odd time signatures! A CD demonstrating the musical examples
in the book is included.
